While going to You Hong's house, Wang Ai listened to director Jin's introduction.

You Hong’s family is in the suburbs. In the 70s, when the factory occupied a certain area, there was a recruitment quota. You Hong’s father entered the factory, and You Hong’s mother worked as a farmer at home.You Hong also has a younger sister and a younger brother, both of whom study well.You Hong’s mother suffered from back pain in her 40s and was unable to do heavy work. You Hong’s father broke a leg due to a work-related injury at the factory, so the factory arranged for a janitor to do light work.When the factory was in existence, apart from wages, there was also a little disability allowance every month, so the family could maintain it.

The factory went bankrupt in 97, with a monthly disability allowance of 80 yuan. One of the couple was sick and the other was disabled. You Hong’s mother planted and ordered vegetables around the garden in front of and behind the house every day, relying on rural relatives from time to time. The relief point of food, barely starved to death.You Hong's father has always gone out to find work, but there are too many unemployed workers, what can a disabled person do?Even begging is not good, begging is professional, worse than you, better than you, and there is organization.So I can occasionally stand on the street to hand out leaflets, which is not a big deal at all. I have no choice but to sell the things I bought in my early years when my family was still good.

When the two arrived at You Hong's house, they heard the people in the house talking.

In front of the kang in the house, a thin old man with one leg crossed and white hair was sitting on the small bench in front of the kang, holding You Hong's hand and crying, "Daughter, I don't know if my father won't pay for you. People kicked them out. I said my daughter was going to college, and the people at the blood bank said that I was afraid that if I died, I would cause trouble for others. My daughter, my father doesn’t know what to do now.”

You Hong's mother sat on the kang and wore a ragged cotton jacket to wipe her tears. If it wasn't for the two children, the couple would have wanted to make a bag of rat medicine and die, but no matter how hard these days were, they still had to endure.

You Hong let her father hold her hand and shed tears silently.

"Mom and Dad, I... I'm not going to college anymore, I'm going to work."

The old man wiped away his tears: "Girl, what can you do?"

You Hong gritted her teeth: "I'm going to the south! Anyway, I'm the eldest in the family. I'll go to the south to work and save money for my younger sister and younger brother to go to school."

"Is this for nothing?"

You Hong was heartbroken. Is it easy to get more than 700 points? Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to just throw it away like this? She wiped her tears and smiled: "It’s okay. After I finish offering my sister, she should go to work. Then I will pay for my younger brother with my sister. When my younger brother graduates, I can still pick up the books."

"Sister!" The two little ones cried and hugged You Hong: "Sister, you go to college first, and we will suspend school tomorrow. We will pay for you first! After you graduate in four years, we will pay for you. If you delay for four years, we can pay you back." Pick it up, and you won’t be able to pick it up after ten years of delay.”

Outside the door, Director Jin pushed his glasses and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

Wang Ai pushed open the door and walked into the house.

You Hong wiped her teary eyes: "Hey, Wang Ai, Director Jin, why are you here?"

You Hong's father struggled to stand up against the wall, and forced a smile: "Director Jin, why are you here? Thanks to you for the past three years."

Director Jin waved his hands again and again: "Don't say it, don't say it."

Wang Ai said: "Sister You Hong, don't think about working part-time. There is a new education fund in the city these two days. Director Jin has applied for a sum of money for you, which is enough for your four-year university tuition."

The whole room looked at each other in blank disbelief.

Director Jin said: "Believe me, this is true. The total amount of money is not much, but You Hong has studied so well, it would be a pity to give up, so you are the first to apply."

The family was stunned for a moment, and the old man was the first to react, "Old woman, hurry up, get some wine, buy some pork head meat, and I will accompany Director Jin to drink two cups!"

You Hong's mother repeatedly wanted to get off the kang, but was stopped by Director Jin in a hurry: "We are not only your family, but we have to go to other people's homes soon. Let me tell you how to deal with this matter first."

The old man urged the two younger ones to bring hot water to Director Jin and Wang Ai.

"Your notification letter should be here soon. After your notification letter arrives, the school will help you call your university and ask how much the tuition fee for one academic year is. Other tuition fees and accommodation fees will be included together. Then one of our high schools will issue you a certificate of formalities, and then you will receive the money first after receiving the formalities, and wait for you after receiving the money
